PLCX311 38 mm Dia. x 500 mm FL; Uncoated; Plano-Convex Lens
The PLCX311 is a Plano-Convex lens, a type of spherical lens with a circular base shape, sourced from WTS Photonics. This lens has a diameter of 38 mm and a center thickness of 3.7 mm, with a thickness at the edge of 3 mm. The effective focal length (EFL) of this lens is 500 mm, making it suitable for applications that require long focal lengths.
The lens's radius of curvature (R1) is 259.15 mm, and the back focal length (BFL) is 497.6 mm. The inner and outer radii are both 0, indicating a plano surface on one side and a curved surface on the other. This lens is made of n-BK7 Schott glass, a popular material for optical elements due to its excellent optical properties and wide transparency range.
The lens is designed to operate at a wavelength of 546.1 nm. It does not come with any coating, which means it is uncoated. However, users can request coatings according to their specific requirements.
